Saw No Country For Old Men and There Will Be Blood on back to back nights.

NCFOM was dark.

There Will Be Blood is even darker. When I saw who wrote the book TWEB was based on, I sat back on the couch and first thing I thought "Well that ****ing figures."  If you've ever read any of Upton Sinclair's work, you'll recognize his hand crafting of this story.

Both are excellent in my mind, and Daniel Day-Lewis is a master of his art.

Hello Sir! I don't think we've "met" on here! Well I keep hearing these are good flicks, guess I'll read some more comments to make me go rent it.

No Country was excellent!!!  I really liked it.

I didn't like Blood as much as the rest of the country did.  I found it to be slow, boring, and overrated.  Daniel Day Lewis was excellent in it, though.

I'm glad i watched both of them, and i think they were both definitely worth the rental, but i had VERY high expectations for Blood going into it, and it just didn't meet them, whereas, No Country lived up to the hype.

I really liked the movie, just didn't understand the ending very well.

I DRANK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!!!

I enjoyed No Country for old men, it did remind me of south Texas in a strange way.

No country for old men is the sheiat!

" Where does he work?'

Where does he work?"

"Where does he work?"

 

The one where Tommy Lee Jones is talking about his dreams he had, I guess I kind of get it. I just didn't think the ending fit I guess.

Yeah, that ending could have been better.

I really liked the ending of There Will Be. You have to remember the talk he had with his brother about wanting to make enough money to leave all of mankind behind. In the end, he had finally severed all ties with his past and could be happy alone with his hatred of mankind.

The ending of Country was just really odd.  The whole scene with the Old Man, and then the ending.  It just didn't do justice to the rest of the film.  But it was still good.  Anton Chugurh was a beast.

The ending to No Country mad my blood boil at first, but after seeing it again, I now get it. It was a pretty good movie. It was dofferent and the acting was very well done. Haven't seen There will be blood yet.

There Will Be Blood SUCKED in my opinion.  Every scene was drawn out beyond anything sane.  It could have been a great movie, but the dialogue was terribly weak, the movie was way too long, and the score and underlying 'music' (it wasn't really music at all) was terrible and unusually placed.

Whoever made this movie should be beaten with a waterhose.

That about sums it up. It wasn't the money involved in renting it. It was the 2+ hours I can't get back.

No country for old Men was an excellet movie.  Part of it was filmed in my home town too ( El Paso, TX).
